Upgrades - Case, GFX, Monitor etc

infernox · 2 Jun 2015 at 07:27

I'm bored with my PC again... Is anyone ever happy? lol

I have the specs in my signature and 2 OCZ Arc's in Raid 0. My Parvum doesn't have the room to fit the SSD's in there properly. (To be honest. I get bored fairly easily)

Thinking of the 350d. Is there a better case for the money? I'm open to look at others.

I would also like a new graphics card. Doesn't have to be brand new just better than the 670. I run out of VRAM in GTAV (Might need a new PSU)

I would also like, in the future to have a 4K Monitor or ultrawide (I'm undecided). Screen Hertz isn't a massive need (I don't really play FPS no more), just IPS or equivalent, thinking 28-32"

And one of those tasty M.2 Samsung Drives with 2000MBps

Anything else anyone would buy? Thinking £600-800 but can go higher. I know the 4k screens are expensive.

Thanks guys, looking forward to seeing my options.

What PSU do you have?

I'd probably go with an ultrawide monitor instead of 4k, as they require a lot of GPU grunt and still you won't get an amazing frame rate. Still a few years before it is worth getting 4k IMO.

Also another case option

It's a 600W OCZ. To be honest. I'd quite like to get some of those cablemod cables and with vram doubling with dx12 coming. Could be worth it for SLI.

Any ultrawides you'd recommend? I like the look of the LGs.

LG is nice, personally I'd only go 1440p for a big monitor like 34". Only prob is that the cheapest one is £600

Have you considered 27" 1440p? This will be much more affordable with a good one costing under £350.

I have a 1440p 27".

I'd like a step up.

Are you willing to double your budget? It's the only way you'll be able to get in monitor, GPU, SSD, case and PSU.

Errr. Not really haha. A friend has a 660ti would that be better than my 670?

Nope, but what you could do is upgrade the 670 to a 970.

As you can see it will give you almost double the performance. I think it'd be the more sensible approach and along with a new PSU and case you should be good to go. Then in a few years time you can always get another 970 for SLI along with a 4k monitor or ultrawide
